Quantum computing is the natural intersection point of physics, computer science, and mathematics disciplines which makes use of principles of quantum mechanics as they promote the offering of solutions for hard problems that no classical computer would ever achieve. This takes into account both hardware and application development. Quantum computers prove to be superior in solving specific problem categories, which capitalizes on quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and quantum interference. Key applications of this accelerated processing include machine learning, optimization, and simulation of physical systems. Significant areas of potential application abound within this domain, which include portfolio optimization in finance and the simulation of chemical systems—this last category being something not even possible to simulate with the most powerful supercomputing technologies currently available on the market.
